Jobs at Simutronics

About Us:
Simutronics created its first game, the multi-user dungeon (MUD) title GemStone, which debuted on GEnie in 1987. We also innovated the concept of online 3D action games in 1993 with the launch of CyberStrike, which was awarded Computer Gaming World magazine’s very first "Online Game of the Year" award.

Simutronics has since brought several mobile titles to market including Tiny Heroes, One Epic Knight, Lara Croft: Relic Run, and most recently Siege: Titan Wars.

In 2016 we joined Stillfront Group.

Stillfront operates through nine near-autonomous subsidiaries: Bytro Labs in Germany, Coldwood Interactive in Sweden, Power Challenge in the UK and Sweden, Dorado Online Games in Malta, Simutronics in the United States, Babil Games in UAE and Jordan, eRepublik in Ireland and Romania, OFM Studios in Germany and Goodgame Studios in Germany. Stillfront’s games are distributed globally. The main markets are France, UK, Germany, the United States and MENA.
